This isn't an idle game

If you leave it idle, you won't get enough items. You have to watch ads for 8 out of 10 minutes (to get items). I'm level 6 and I'm thinking of quitting. If items dropped well and accumulated quickly, it would be playable, but to upgrade a level 2 item, you have to wait forever for items to gather ㅠ Maybe I'm just bad at it because I don't understand it well... I feel like I'm going to die trying to reach level 8 ㅋㅋ
